December 17, 20169 yr Moderator water in my scenery is a tan color. I can't figure out how to make it blue. You'll need to be more specific. Is the water everywhere tan or just inland water, streams, oceans, etc. FSX or FSX-SE? New install and is tan or old install that was blue before and is now tan?

December 17, 20169 yr Hey Mitch, How about deleting the Shader file, and letting it rebuild ?? - Johnman
December 17, 20169 yr Author don't know what or where the shader file is. not very savvy about the innards of FSXSE
December 17, 20169 yr Hey Mitch, This Should Get You Where You want to Go ! C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX\Shaders I would Rename the Shader Folders or Move them to, like the Desk Top, To make Sure that things go the way You want them to ! Just to give You an Undo ! - Johnman
December 18, 20169 yr Hi Mitchb Just done a bit of experimenting re water colours in FSX, using UT USA. Water colours change in real life, I live on the NW coast of England and tjhe sea colour changes day by day, that said I have compared water colours in FSX around Miami which give various blues, lakes around Jackson WY giving blues and greys, Lake Champlain VT/NY giving a light muddy colour. It may be worth you trying different geographical areas and do a comparison, if the tropical water is muddy obviously something is wrong. Sorry I can't help any further, hope you resolve it.

December 18, 20169 yr Hi, continueing with muddy water, if you haven't done this try, set Season to Summer/Day, take off from KBTV Burlington and fly over Lake Champlain, pause sim and goto Options/Settings/Display/Scenery/Water Effects/ slider to Mid2x or try other settings, also try different filtering settings. Water effects set in the 1 range is brown mud, I set Mid2x with Trilinear to produce a colour similar to the real thing, at least as far as I can remember on my sail on the lake in 2008 , it definitely wasn't blue but worth the trip.
